"volunteers: battle of life and death" is a good film that naturally connects historical reality and artistic techniques.
the artistic conception of "volunteers: battle of life and death" is ingenious and attractive. the plot unfolds with two clues, bright and dark: the enemy's attack and our sniping are the bright thread, and the detailed design given by mr. peng is the hidden thread, which connects mr. peng, li moyin, li xiang, li xiao, and many soldiers. the combination of light and dark lines successfully demonstrated the determination of the chinese people to protect their homeland and country.
on the one hand, the film shows the "iron bones" of the volunteer army soldiers in the face of war by using xin baiqing as the senior staff officer of the volunteer army command, li moyin's family of three. on the other hand, it shows the "tenderness" of the volunteer army soldiers through the delivery of a candy. ". the grand bright lines show the fearless revolutionary spirit of the volunteer army; the delicate hidden lines show the deep love between the volunteer army soldiers. mr. peng took out a candy from his pocket and asked li moyin to hand it to his son li xiang. the candy reflected mr. peng's concern for the volunteer soldiers as children; li moyin gave the candy to li xiang, and mr. peng gave the candy to li xiang. li xiang's care was conveyed to li xiang in the form of fatherly love; li xiang did not eat the candy, but gave the candy to li xiao, which reflected his brother's care for his sister; li wanted his sister to eat the candy and left the candy wrapper , pucker your lips before sacrifice, then wrap the dried flower that the soldiers smelled with sugar paper, and let it flow in the direction of the motherland. through the shaping of light and dark lines, the distinct characteristics of love and hate of the volunteers stand out, which is a very successful artistic depiction.
"volunteers: battle of life and death" is a masterpiece that must be filled with stories one by one. the film is based on historical reality, which becomes a source of appeal.
li moyin and his son li xiang went to the korean front line together, leaving his daughter li xiao in beijing. facing the departure of his father and brother, li xiao shouted at the top of his lungs: you are all gone, how can the family still be a family? li xiao then also signed up to join the volunteer army. the plot is very natural here. however, when li wanted to lead his battalion to plunder the hilltop occupied by the enemy's belgian soldiers, he unexpectedly met his sister li xiao on the battlefield. many viewers may have thought: art requires cleverness, and it cannot be such a coincidence. but it is true that the brother and sister met on the korean battlefield.
on september 27, the premiere of "volunteers: battle of life and death" was held in beijing, and military representatives were invited to watch the film and exchange views. grandma jiang zhaoyu, a veteran volunteer soldier who was present, could not help but shed tears while watching the movie. she said with emotion, "the movie reminds me of the memory of running with my brother on the battlefield to resist u.s. aggression and aid korea. i miss the comrades who sacrificed around me. the spirit of the chinese nation will be passed down forever."
in 2023, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the victory of the war to resist u.s. aggression and aid korea, cctv 7 broadcasted "good sons and daughters of china". in the third episode, it introduced the story of sister jiang zhaoyu and brother jiang boheng going to the korean battlefield together. first, jiang zhaoyu joined the volunteer army and dissuaded his brother: "it's enough for our family to have me as a representative." but his brother replied, "this is my lifelong wish and i will walk my own path." in the raging war, the brother and sister experienced two reunions. for the first reunion, the sister gave her brother a pen and said goodbye; for the second reunion, the sister nursed the injured soldier day and night in the field hospital. in the stretcher unit, jiang zhaoyu saw his brother's figure at a glance, and they agreed to meet each other in gushan in the future, but this farewell became an eternal farewell. his brother died under a gasoline bomb dropped by a us military plane and remained on the korean battlefield forever.
be true and don’t be afraid of coincidence. many story details in "volunteers: battle of life and death" make the audience naturally relate to them. sun xing, the character played by chen feiyu in the movie "volunteers: battle of life and death", digs tunnels to the enemy tank concentration area on a rainy night when the enemy turns off their lights and is silent, and sends a signal light to the rear, which reminds people of "shoot at me" wang cheng's story is based on yu shuchang; li xiang said before detonating the explosives, "we can't come back, you keep moving forward!" many people think of wang wei, a first-class pilot of a certain naval aviation department 23 years ago, before he died heroically in a plane crash in the south china sea. reply: "81192 received! i can no longer return, you keep moving forward, repeat, you keep moving forward!" similar words, people can't help but associate; similar words, although not the same scene, but the connection of spiritual blood is seamless .
during the period of resisting u.s. aggression and aiding korea, the people's republic of china had just been founded and was in need of a lot of waste, but it was basically an agricultural country. at that time, the united states was already an industrialized power. this gap was also reflected on the korean battlefield. in the film "volunteers: battle of life and death", there are many scenes of volunteer army soldiers "confronting" enemy tanks with blasting tubes. in the words of the soldiers in the film: blow up a tank, three groups of people go up, and one group comes back. this contrast between "flesh" and "steel" is in line with historical reality. on the korean battlefield, the enemy has planes in the sky and tanks and artillery on the ground. however, volunteer soldiers often have to fight with their flesh and blood against enemies who are "armed to the teeth."
in this battle with great disparity in hardware strength, the volunteer army defeated the "united nations army" armed with steel with an astonishing and iron-like will. in the cheorwon blockade reflected in "volunteers: battle of life and death", the 63rd army, which was responsible for the sniper mission, became a god in one battle and achieved the title of "king of light infantry". this is a victory brought by strong will. the 63rd army achieved a record of wiping out 15,000 enemies in the cheorwon blockade, but it also paid a huge price in casualties. according to statistics, during the war to resist u.s. aggression and aid korea, more than 197,000 heroes and heroines sacrificed their precious lives for the motherland and people. among them, 19,766 died in shandong, which was the province with the second largest number of sacrifices, accounting for one-tenth of the total. .
without the sacrifices of the volunteers, new china would not have enjoyed more than 70 years of peaceful development. after filming "volunteers: battle of life and death", actor zhu yilong, who starred as li xiang, the instructor of the 3rd battalion of the 188th division, said: "the red flag was planted on the korean battlefield, and only then did hong kong raise the red flag in 1997." the world is a little far away from us, but i don’t want these people to be farther away from us. they have suffered for three generations to have the happy life we have today.” we need to always remember "volunteer army: survival and death." the truth behind "the war", knowing that today's happy life is hard-won and working hard to build a better home.
